A month later, the first batch of 1,200 Pirate rifles was delivered to the Colombians, and then training began under the guidance of instructors from the same Pirates, who had a good level of professionalism, and under their guidance, the Colombians learned for the first time what a skirmish formation was, what a combat group covered each other, what a trench defense was, how to lay and break barbed wire, how to defend against shelling.

It's just that these instructors have to come up with a sentence like "I've been working in Blackwater for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as stupid as you, even dumber than blacks". Fortunately, the pirate company also made it clear that those instructors were all dug up by them from the foot of the wall dug in the black water. So it's normal for them to say that.

Another week later, six brand-new Corsair guns were also delivered to Colombia. Then, under the operation of the shooting technology instructor, after playing a rapid fire of more than 20 minutes in a minute, not only all the officers present in Colombia understood how they could lose so badly last time, but even the spy personnel from Venezuela, Paraguay, and Bolivia, who secretly came to watch, were also shocked: one cannon, 20 shells per minute, if it were on the scale of the Franco-Prussian War. Put a thousand gates, boom, how many soldiers are not enough for this thing.

So, after these guys returned, they all sent intelligence to the country to explain the situation, so it was not long before McDonald Infantry Weapons Company welcomed a group of South American customers.

While the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company was making a windfall on the arms race in South America, the recruitment of workers to dig the canal in Japan was also underway, and the first batch of workers had been assembled and were preparing to complete their final medical examinations before they could take a steamer to Panama City.

"Doctor, the next group is ready!" Jiro Sasaki shouted in broken English that the doctor, surnamed Kato, was also Japanese and could speak Japanese, but there was no way, the overseer had to be able to listen and speak simple English. Fortunately, Dr. Kato's English is good, so Sasaki seized the opportunity to help him practice English desperately.

"Bring them one by one." Dr. Kato said.

The first one to be brought in was a short man, well, even Sasaki, who is Japanese, thinks that guy is short, and that person's height is naturally completely invisible.

"Stand still, don't move!" Sasaki said, holding a long wooden ruler behind his back and measuring it.

"Four inches and one foot!" Sasaki gave the numbers.

"Sasaki, you stupid thing??" Dr. Kato couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It should be four feet and one inch (about one meter three)!" Feet and inches, can you tell the difference? Well, let him go to the big scale and weigh it. ”

"Hay!" Sasaki replied.

“no！ Sasaki, you should say yes, understand? ”

“yes！” Sasaki quickly replied, and at the same time gratefully gave a ninety-degree bow.

Weighing it up, this little man still has a bit of weight, and when the weight and height are calculated according to a certain formula, this little man actually meets the standards given by the Americans.

"Ah, let him come." Dr. Kato said.

Sasaki hurriedly brought the little man to Dr. Kato.

"Open your mouth!" Dr. Kato said.

The man obediently opened his mouth. Kato examined the man's teeth very carefully, as well as his tongue coating, then nodded and asked, "Are you Kojiro, a hired hand?" ”

"Yes, my lord, I'm short, but I can work." The little man said.

"Alright. You're good to go. You're up for it, go ahead. Kato said, "Sasaki, call the next one in!" ”

……

This round of physical examination did not brush off too many workers, anyway, they are all one-time consumables, why do you have such high standards and strict requirements? Therefore, most of the workers went through the medical examination and obtained the qualification to board the ship.

Due to the impact of the last Chinese ship, in order to avoid being reciprocated by others, the conditions of the ship transporting the Japanese must not be the same as that of the Chinese workers. And like that, transporting a ship and killing more than half of them on the way is not economically cost-effective.

However, the conditions of the ships transporting the Japanese were definitely not good. Such ships are still temporarily converted from cargo ships. This is just an addition of equipment to the original cargo hold.

The first important piece of equipment is the toilet of **. In conditions of high population density, a clean toilet is the key to reducing disease. This toilet is made of wood according to a uniform standard, which is somewhat similar to the simple mobile toilet of later generations. Scrooge had two in the cabin of each boat, and then sent someone to clean it up every day. In this way, it is believed that deaths on the road can be greatly reduced.

The second problem with the cargo hold is the air circulation. So Scrooge had a few new hatches open on the roof of the cargo hold, and a blower was set up on top of it to inhale hard to the outside to force air circulation. In addition, he purchased a batch of wooden four-layer shelf beds from Japan, so that in fact, there were no fewer people stuffed in the cabin than when the cart was used to transport Chinese workers to Stamford.

However, even so, the long life at sea will still make people physically degraded and prone to diseases. Therefore, Scrooge also strictly stipulated that every worker must have a working time to go on deck and scrub the deck every day. In this way, the chance of getting sick should be much smaller. In addition, there are a lot of sulfonamides on board, which can also reduce the proportion of diseases. Of course, if he is still sick, and sulfonamide does not have a very obvious effect on him, then naturally there is only one last resort to give him a necessary medicine for home travel, and then when he dies, he will declare that the cure is ineffective, and throw it into the sea.

In this way, Sasaki and a group of other Japanese workers got on a boat called the "Musketeers". As an overseer, Sasaki has certain privileges, such as his bunk being a little higher than the average worker, a little closer to the air intake, and the air is much better. They were accompanied by another cargo ship called the Indian Samurai, and a real passenger liner, the Far Eastern Beauty, which was chartered by Warrendrano at his own expense. It is said that the shogunate was inspired by this export of labor and realized that in the nineteenth century, people were also one of the most important resources, so they searched in the control area and found many women who were willing to go overseas to earn foreign exchange for the shogunate through the smokeless industry, and then Warrendrano took the lead in making money in foreign countries.

The first target of Japanese women was China, and Warren Drano opened the first shop in Shanghai in the tourism industry, which was mainly based on Japanese women, and it is said that the initial results were good. So he took the opportunity of Scrooge to open the Panama Canal, and simply sent these women over, preparing to open a comfort station in Panama.

In this way, after more than a month at sea, the three ships finally arrived in Panama.

The Isthmus of Panama is not wide, and there is a long stretch of it that can be borrowed from natural lakes. It doesn't seem like a lot of work, but it's not that easy. First of all, this is the remnant of the Andes, although there are no mountains, most of them can only be regarded as hills, but after digging the soil layer, you will find a pit, how can the ground be covered with these messy granite. Isn't this about human life? Fortunately, Scrooge is the largest in the United States, and even the largest in the world. Otherwise, there is no way to take these granite.

In addition to granite, an even bigger problem is the rainforest, where you have to clear the mountains and trees and rattans before you can start working. And in the primeval jungle, there are all kinds of things that scare people to death.

Sasaki got off the boat, rested for two or three days, and was ordered to take a group of Japanese workers to open the mountain and cut wood.

"Lady Sasaki, you see, the axe we were given is really made of steel." The little man who didn't even have a surname was very excited, apparently he had never gotten such a good tool in Japan before.

"Well, Kojiro, since the master has let us eat so much," Sasaki said, remembering the brown bread and baked spam he had eaten this morning, and couldn't help but be very grateful to the American master, and continued, "Now that we have been given such good tools, then we should work hard for the master's family, you say, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've eaten so well in so many years." A Japanese worker replied, "I thought, it's worth it to eat such a meal, even if you die immediately!" ”

"Sasaki-sama is right!" Someone else said.

"Well, that's good, but don't forget what Kurosma-sama told you yesterday. Be careful when working here, there are a lot of snakes in the mountains, so they are very poisonous, and if you bite them, you won't be able to save them. Be careful! Sasaki reminded again.

"Don't worry, Sasaki-sama, I haven't eaten enough of this food, and I'm reluctant to die." Kojiro also replied with a grin.

"Kojiro hasn't asked for a daughter-in-law yet, and he doesn't know what a woman tastes like, so he is absolutely reluctant to die." Someone chimed in with a grin. Kojiro just smiled and didn't answer.

"I heard that in a few days, the 'Panama No. 1 Comfort Station' will be opened. There are a lot of Japanese girls in it, do you want Kojiro to try it first? ”

"What do Japanese women have to do, if there are some ghost girls, then it's interesting, you look at the ones we saw in the city yesterday, that leg is long, and that **, there are more than Japanese women. I just don't know ......."

"Dream on, you!" Sasaki scolded, "It doesn't count how much a ghost woman is." That's what you played? That's not how it costs to come all this way and earn some money...... Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get started, let's get to work! ”
